Mrs Princhester and I just came home from a gala black tie stiff upper lip function at Brisbane’s (arguably) most exclusive all male membership Club. While waiting for the concierge to retrieve Mrs P’s wrap we noticed a sign on the front desk listing a number of rules, including this gem:
Heh.
Now, that don’t make no sense at all. I can’t imagine why you would think there was a need to intentionally put a comma there - I’m thinking typo? Are commas the new emphasis (quotes being so last year)? As in - ,NEW, and ,IMPROVED, ?
Oh, of course. The misplaced comma is such an easy mistake. It should be
“Please note that the wearing of denim clothe’s is strictly prohibited.”
You misspelled “Plea’se.”

Maybe it’s supposed to be a semi-colon.
I’ve noticed, a lot of this random comma abuse in recent years.
Somewhere, Lynne Truss wakes up screaming from a nightmare…
…and then she looks around and realises that she’s still in the nightmare…

It’s just down the road from my house, where a road-widening project is beginning.
I always thought the “Beware of Children and the Elderly” sign in my old neighbourhood was a trifle ambiguous … :eek:
Apparently, it’s a very exclusive all male NUDE club.
[Insert snarky comment, deploring the illiteracy of the Commonwealth’s antipodal colonial types, here.] 
That doesn’t even make sense without the apostrophe.
My sister found this in the cafeteria at work:
I think she said they served it the day of the Kentucky Derby. :eek:
No, that would be the day after the Kentucky Derby. 
A sign at my college which promotes the benefits of studying there has this
Obviously this excellance doesnt include spelling!
There’s the sign hanging over Main Street in the next town south of here advertising high school football on Friday’s…twitch twitch
I saw one on Bill’s Fruit Stand Today: PEACHE’S
